If his opponent (first female mayor) had won, do you think Obama would call her? Doubt it. Obama showing his true colors again!
Congrats to Mayor Warren!

I agree with whatacreep. He calls tyhe black man and not all other winners including Matyuor Mennino of his own party. This color thing is way beyong acceptable. Between our black governor, black US Martial etc,it seems as though a staement is being made

On a day when Muslim US soldiers are killing non muslim soldiers he throws in the race card to congratulate someone because of his race.

Why make so much about race Obama, how about being gender and race neutral, treating everyone the same, how about it Obama?

You forget LeftMAbehind, Odumba is not POTUS of all the people - only those he chooses to be POTUS of.
